I play at Pokerstars (sng and tourneys) and it seems a lot of people will play any suited cards. If the flop comes with two of their suit, they move all-in. How do you defend this? If I call and they hit their flush I am out. What kind of money needs to be in the pot for me to call an all-in bet against the flush draw?
Assume equal stacks -
You have AKo and raise 3x. One caller. Flop comes K 5 3 with two suits and your opponent moves in. You put him on a flush draw. Is it right to call? Or do you fold? I would be a 63% or so favorite right? But I am also giving up my chance to continue playing also. If I feel I am a better player, is it correct to fold? Or is it still a call. Usually the earlier in the sng the more likely I am to fold.
It seems in a way to be a nice bet on their part when they can get me thinking about folding TPTK. It just seems to be too big of a gamble.
I can't believe how many people do this. Especially when they are not even drawing to the nut flush. I never see people do this in live nl games (with the exception of short stacks and certain other situations where it may make sense).
What do you guys advise?
